US Government warns against Internet Explorer

Internet Exploder will harm your machine

THE US GOVERNMENT has sent out a warning out to internet users through its Computer Emergency Readiness Team
(US-CERT), pleading users to stop using Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Following a malware attack last week which targeted a known flaw in IE, like so many other attacks, the US-CERT
recommended using alternative browsers thanks to their increased security. Microsoft is hurriedly trying to increase
IE's security with the Windows XP Service Pack 2, but it's not fast enough for many.

In a vulnerability note released by US-CERT, it says "there are a number of significant vulnerabilities in
technologies relating to the IE domain" and that "it is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a
different web browser." Well, they're right.

The latest "extremely critical" IE bug has still not been patched by Microsoft. µ
